The session will bring experts in the field of disability from around the world into one conference to discuss what other countries have learned while going through the process of creating accessibility legislation. This conference lends the opportunity to learn some innovative ideas for creating a strong and effective Canadian accessibility law.

I found this conference by chance while doing some research about the issues.

If anyone has any thoughts on this I have agreed to be on a call about the new Federal Law in this area Aug 23. I need to be able to sound intelligent about :

How to remove barriers facing people with episodic disabilities. What do Canadians want to see in this new law?

What are the specific disability-related issues, barriers and challenges?

What can the federal gov't do to address this?

Any thoughts about how the Federal gov't could support people with these disabilities in the community?
